Originally
associated with the negative comments, Kelly took to (where else) Twitter to refute reports that she’d
actually been the one to say Zandaya’s hair smelled of weed.

And, Zandaya
herself fired back at Giuliana on Instagram, stating: "There is
already harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of
ignorant people who choose to judge others based on the curl of their hair. My
wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a
positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good
enough."

No word yet from Kelly on what's next, but the network released a statement saying, "we would like to thank her for her many contributions to the series over the past five years."
